No sarcasm. Is this a question you want an answer to?

True, I’d forgotten about this and I’m glad to be detracted in this way tbh

It might disappoint you to learn that among american english speakers, literacy isn’t a good indication of maturity by age. Barbara Bush made a literacy initiative that’s still around, the One Good Thing® left over from the bush regime. The site has a handy map to show you the 40-60% adult literacy rate counties spread all over the states. It definitely helped me come to terms with the fact that sometimes a kid who is trying is gonna be more eloquent than an adult repeating the same tired take they’ve been rebutted for a thousand times.

It’s easier for me personally to gauge age as it scales up when anonymity is involved - referential humor, recognizance of the ancient runes (Duckroll, Bill Murray’s face with only the jaw moving), and informed chitchat about presidential behavior predating Bush SR are all dead giveaways that a user is older, but with younger users you have a lot of hobby/interest overlap going all the way up to people in their 40s. You can’t look someone in the eyes and see if the light of youth has gone out yet on forums and imageboards.

Classic “fuck you got mine” take from someone who has experienced no difficulty in decades with a field. If you’re ignoring the mass layoffs happening across multiple fields right now, ESPECIALLY in well-performing companies, I guess it looks like AI is not having much of an effect. Like if you consciously decide to not look at any business news at all this take could make sense.

The browser war has been long and bloody, but here’s a current battle.

The car goes away when you drive it off. Replacing the car would take power to run multiple assembly and formation machines, and resources for each part.

When you download a movie, it doesn’t go anywhere, you simply use a miniscule amount of power to make a copy.

No one has lost anything and the product is still available where it was. Copying is not theft. When you steal, you leave one less left.

How many lemmy commenters can make the same false equivalence analogy in one week?

Dude, I quoted you word for word from what you posted. PLEASE re-read the text from the image you posted of your post being removed. You deserved that shit 100% you’re a psycho. If this is satire it sucks

Tripcodes changed after moot sold the site, meaning whoever the original qanon was, there’s literally no way to verify any posts after the change are the same person (they almost definitely weren’t). Also, you can just use trip explorer to “hack” a tripcode, and this was always possible. Identity on 4chan has always been impossible to preserve in a meaningful way on purpose, which is why pretty much every successful 4chan-originated project moved away from the boards to communicate.

Anyway, it’s not comparable to an account, and judging someone for using a tool rather than what they’re using it for is insane. Social media are tools.

Unbelievable that you could miss the point this much and still ask “what’s hard to understand” lmfao

The comment literally reads “they would hardly be any different”. What’s your point? That sweeping change is “kind of extreme”? Is this satire?

Jokes are supposed to be funny to the audience, not necessarily the comedian, just so you know

If biological differences were the actual issues, phelps would not have been allowed to compete without ankle surgery, an arm reduction, and lactic acid producing drugs active to level the playing field. Biological advantage isn’t the issue, prejudice is.

good breakdown of the system but it has been a while since textures were the issue at large. You can cut ~1/3 the filesize of starfield by uninstalling language packs you aren’t using because lossless audio is HUGE. Most LoD effects are just rendering a distant model with reduced detail and update rate. Even if you look at “good” lod models they often move in a jerky way in practice because they aren’t at the same framerate as things within the “detail” draw distance (easy to observe in every souls title).
